McMillan 2nd at Polar Bear invite
Collegiate Check-up
Three local athletes were on the track in Marion on Saturday, competing in their first outdoor meet of the season before the snow fell a day later.
Jordan McMillan, a 2011 Jay County High School graduate, paced the group as she posted a runner-up finish for the Ball State University women’s team at the Polar Bear Invitational hosted by Indiana Wesleyan.
McMillan easily took second place in the 100-meter dash, finishing more than three tenths of a second ahead of third-place runner Brianna Gregory of Huntington in 13 seconds flat. The only athlete ahead of McMillan was her Cardinal teammate, Janae Taylor.
The sophomore also posted a time of 27.22 for ninth place in the 200 dash.
Tim Lehman (South Adams – 2012) also picked up a top-10 finish for the Goshen College men’s team as he took seventh in the 400 dash in 53.02. He added a 19th-place effort in the 200 dash in 24.04.
Hannah Moore (South Adams – 2012) ran in one event for the Huntington University women’s team, taking 11th in the 5,000 run in 18 minutes, 50.9 seconds.
Billy Wellman

Wellman went 6-for-8 on the day to lift his batting average to .319. He had two hits and a run for the Cardinals (11-10) as they dropped the opener 7-4, and was a perfect 4-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a 4-3 loss in the second game.
